Latkes (Makes 30!): 

· 1.13 kg potatoes shredded (I blot them so they aren’t too damp, but still starchy)

· 1 large onion, shredded

· 81 g matzo meal or bread crumbs

· 2 large eggs, beaten

· 1.25 tsp salt, or more to taste

· 0.5 tsp pepper

· grapeseed or vegetable oil for frying (about 1 1/2 cups — choose an oil with a high smoke point)

· 51.25 g schmaltz (optional)

Mix the potatoes, onion, crumbs, eggs and salt and pepper into flat pancakes, and fry in hot oil until brown.

Best eaten hot.
